Low FODMAP Kale Salad with Tahini Dressing
Meals while following a low FODMAP diet don’t have to be boring, and yes, even a low FODMAP kale salad can be delicious! This salad has everything you need. Massaged kale makes the texture much more enjoyable. Slivered almonds and crunchy carrots and cucumbers add great texture. Salty feta and creamy tahini dressing round it out perfectly!
Tahini dressing is one of my favorites to make. When you first whisk together tahini and lemon juice, it can seize up, meaning it gets thick and clumps up. Just add a little water at a time and keep whisking and it’ll smooth right out!
